That is some of the fastest backpedaling I have seen since E32013.
GTA Trilogy is messy
- Thread starter CriticalGaming
- Start date
Whoever said complaining never solved anything?
But anyways, what happened at E32013? Didn’t it take a while after release before Microsoft changed their XBOne stance?
Microsoft Clarifies Xbox One Used Game Policy
The software giant won't block reselling of used games or charge a platform fee but game publishers themselves will be able to opt out of supporting the resale of their games.
Microsoft reverses stance on 24-hour check-in, used games for Xbox One [update]
Microsoft may be backtracking on its DRM and used game stance for the Xbox One.

It took them 10 days after E3 2013 when they backpedaled on everything. I already have it time stamped at the proof.
It's kinda amazing how one position change managed to keep xbox alive. I'd be lying if I said I supported all of the decisions, but Phill Spencer was probably the savior for the Microsoft. I mean think of what would've happened if Don Mattrick was at the helm all times.Microsoft Clarifies Xbox One Used Game Policy

TBH, the moment when Don introduced kinect back in E3 2010, how proud he looked about it, and how cringy that whole presentation was, I was already raising my eye brows at the direction this guy was taking
At first part of me thought well, maybe it wasn’t all his fault as that was just the Microsoft directive at the time. But then again…
Yeah this guy was a Dbag with a capital D. Dbag Don.
New Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy Patch Fixes 100+ Bugs
No more blinding sheets of rain or misshapen giant donuts in the Rockstar remaster

They are patching this trilogy like it's fucking Cyberpunk. At least they are putting in effort now, but it's still dogshit that they couldn't be bothered to fix this trash BEFORE release.
Also it should be noted that they delayed the physical versions of the game by a week or two in order to make sure physical buyers get a version with more fixes, which at least will be good for people who aren't aware of this crap yet.
Still not buying your piece of shit product, but thank you for the news.New Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy Patch Fixes 100+ Bugs

Thank you, Yahztee for pointing out why I never played San Andreas ever again.Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - Definitive Edition - Zero Punctuation

EDIT: As for that little take that against Ghost of Tsushima (and nearly all modern sandbox games), I would still play Tsushima over all of the GTA games, and most open-world games in general. You get most activities that are fun or relaxing. Travelling is actually great and it's world you want to explore even if you're not getting the extra goodies.

1. What was that?
2. He's reviewing the games as they were right? This is still what he would have said about the game even if the bugs weren't there?
San Anrdreas had the annoying stamina mechanic and the whole "make sure your character stays healthy" mechanics by doing forced mini game that are tedious time wasters and not fun. Or how certain missions are locked if you don't have certain skills, or health requirements. The point of sandbox is explore and the world opens up the more you progress. It should not lock the player because of some abrtiary reason or you did not bother to a crappy mini game enough.
Yes. Even without the bugs, San Andreas does not hold up in the gameplay department. You might as well play Saints Row 2 and be done with it. A lot of the GTA games I don't have the time nor patience for any more. Though even back then, I only played the story of each game once, and immediately moved on to something else. Playing them now or the sake of nostalgia does nothing for me and a total waste of time. It's called killing the past.
Did you watch the review by any chance? If not, please do so. You'll get all of the info you need.
San Andreas still holds up better then the prior 2 GTAs in the gameplay department at least.
Saint's Row 2 has no countryside and 3 cities.
Not much of milestone. Vice City >San Andreas.
I don't care. Saints Row 2 plays better and is more fun. San Andreas is a chore to play, and the only thing that game has going for it, is the notoriety it caused. Other than being the video game combination of Boyz n Da Hood, Menace II Society, and New Jersey Drive, the game has nothing to stand on.
Vice City doesn't let me fly a Harrier Jet. And sneak into Area 51.
But yea, I prefer GTA 4 and 5 ultimately 5 is already just a better San Andreas, just lacking in somethings..
Big deal; I don't care. Not worth going through all the bullshit to get part again in San Andreas.
That's nothing new. Everyone came to that conclusion years ago about V being a better San Andreas, and Franklin is a better CJ. I'd still play Saints Row 2 over GTAV. Hell, I'd play Saints Row 3 & 4 over GTA IV & V when given the choice.
I've played Saints Row 3 fully, didn't give me that much enjoyment that everyone made it out to be. And GTA 4 and 5 are far more better in the story and character department. I don't remember anyone in Saints Row 3.
The one thing I'll give Saints Row the edge over GTA is creating your own character and how fully realized they are as charcaters.
Saints Row found its open world niche by being a wackier version of GTA and it worked for the interesting gameplay design that afforded. I hope the new one does well. At least it’ll be out soon, which is more than can be said about anything new with GTA. Rockstar, or more specifically Take 2 really fucked up by driving out most of the studio’s creative leads with their increasingly shit practices lately. Also I’ll always be a bit resentful that they’re neglecting their best game to date in favor of more GTAO nickel and diming.

I barely remember the story of IV, but I did enjoy The Lost and The Damned stand alone expansion. V I tried, but the story I found too obnoxious and uninteresting. I hate most of the characters, and the only person I came close to liking is Franklin. Even with all their flaws, I would still take Saints Row 2-4 over all of the GTA games. I would not have it any other way. Deal with it.
Just watched that review and one quote stood out to me:Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - Definitive Edition - Zero Punctuation

That's a topic we can't address anymore without being labeled as "racist". I'm surprised that critics on the woke side of the spectrum panned it for being shite instead of bein racist.Yahtzee said:
